Poema: "BRAINSTORM"

CHEERS!!!
(Toast:  The word toast refers to the action of drinking in honour to somebody or something. In the 12th century people would dip pieces of spiced toast into their wine so that it tasted better. The tradition continued and in the 17th century people became to offer salutations to an honourable person. The idea was that naming that person would also give a better flavour to the drink, in the same way that a toast would. Nowadays, the word is used as a noun (to drink a toast to somebody) or as a verb (to  toast somebody).  This custom probably began in the time of the Roman Empire.
La palabra toast (brindis) se refiere a la acción de tomar en honor a alguien o algo. En el siglo XII la gente mojaba trozos de pan tostado picante en el vino para que tenga mejor sabor. La tradición continuó y en el siglo XVII la gente comenzó a ofrecer saludos a una persona de honor. La idea era que el hecho de nombrar a esa persona daría un mejor sabor a la bebida, de la misma manera que el pan tostado lo haría. Actualmente, la palabra se usa como sustantivo (to drink a toast to somebody) o como verbo (to toast somebody).  Esta costumbre probablemente empezó en los tiempos del imperio romano.

BRAINSTORM (March 7, 2014)

A cheerful sincere Toast is the solution to all ills.

It joins us in a common cause of good Vibes and the “downers”, it kills.

It renews us and unites us in a cause,

As we bust our brains to think of the best sentence, or "clause".

Everybody is enthused and wants to partake.

Like families that join to share a Birthday cake.

No one considers not being present for a Holiday.

Our good wishes and unions help to show the best way.

We must celebrate life,
and in any possible case get together,

To fly through life, like our little friends, “birds of a feather”!

Without restrictions, rules or obligations...
Getting together with positives thoughts and in good Will,
Impulses actions and solutions that "fit the Bill"!
